Cosmetic dermatology involves improving the skin’s appearance by addressing imperfections such as scars, acne, and wrinkles.
Cosmetic dermatologists provide treatment for skin problems that may not always be harmful but can adversely affect a person’s appearance and self-confidence.
Board certified dermatologist Dr. Jamie McGinness provides cosmetic dermatology treatments to patients in Shiloh, IL; St. Louis, MO, and surrounding communities and towns in this region of the Midwest.

- Stretch mark removal
- Sclerotherapy vein removal

Cosmetic Fillers & Injectables

Hair Loss
Hair loss impacts men as well as women. But through the latest cosmetic dermatology treatments and technologies, a qualified dermatologist can successfully treat baldness or thinning hair offering aesthetically appealing outcomes.
Laser Hair Removal
Excessive unwanted hair could lead to a person feeling more self-conscious. The permanent removal of hair is advantageous in eliminating unwanted hair on the body. Lasers can be used in the removal of hair on almost any area of the body. The patient will require several hair removal sessions to attain their desired results.
Microdermabrasion
Routine wear and tear can leave the skin rough, uneven and dull. Microdermabrasion treatments offer a safe and efficient way to delicately slough off the topmost layer of the skin leaving it revitalized and more youthful looking.
Fractional CO2 Laser Eye Lift and Neck Lift
Fractional CO2 laser treatment offers an effective way to get the benefits of a traditional neck or eye lift without the incisions or downtime. This therapy treats a particular skin area at one time via targeted laser energy.
